Monsoon has been quite severe this year in India and Bangalore has also received its fair share of rain. But I love sunny days so I can enjoy my chilled drink with some good grilled meat. After moving into our new apartment, we had cozily set up our balcony but could hardly enjoy it due to the unprecedented downpour. Nevertheless, rain cannot stop me from enjoying good food at home and I had my fair share of barbeque this year; do check out my tandoori lamb skewers and the garlic & herb chicken kabobs which are two stunning options for your outdoor barbeque parties.

The dressing of my orzo pasta salad was also quite light and was packed with lotsa herbs which impart fabulous flavors into the salad. Get inspired and make your own pasta salad soon! Enjoy!
